Field hospitals were explored. I was part of groups that explored and discussed them, but that's easier said than done. If we open a bunch of surge hospitals, we could open them, but how do we staff them? How do we supply them with equipment and things, and such?
I think there are other more effective strategies. I believe most Canadians are now aware that acute care hospitals have a lot of patients who would be better cared for in a long-term care facility, which is certainly, unfortunately, in short supply. That is a huge issue going forward. Now, with changes in long-term care, it has stressed our acute care even more. I think a comprehensive long-term care strategy is long overdue for all of Canada.
